My trip to hell.
I was supposed to get a outpatient op for my gall bladder. after the op the nurse said i have to stay over night because they needed to give me a second op tomorrow morning. I should have told her i will come back tomorrow & do the second op but, being a first timer in a hospital situ I relented & stayed over night. I really think that because they saw that I had 2 insurances that they totally took advantage of me. I didn't need to stay that night. I was unprepared for this stay so i didn't have any over night clothing or grooming products. Of course they "kindly" offered up grooming products, at a seriously ridiculous high price.
After my second op to observe & possibly clean out the gall stones that were supposedly stuck I was in intense pain!! Holy cow! The 1st shift nurse was sympathetic with my screaming & crying & gave me pain meds that I really needed to block the pain. the 2nd shift lead nurse chuckled when i asked her for more medication & said sorry i gave you all i could. I am not a crier but i was in severe pain & couldn't handle it. I couldn't believe she actually laughed at my situation. The graveshift nurse was nice & assisted me.
The next night the graveyard assistant nurse decided to wake me up & noisily clean my room at 1am in the morning!! I couldn't believe it. I asked her why she was in my room and she said that she needed to take my vitals. I told her to take my vitals and get out because i was trying to sleep. she ignored me till i started to scream at her & swear "to get the f... out of my room" she finally took my vitals and left.
The dr. who did the 2nd op saw me on the 3rd day & I begged him to please get me out of here. I didn't have one night of actual sleep because nursing staff kept on interrupting me. He told me that my liver count was still off but he would give them orders to not enter my room unless it was an emergency. Finally got a good nights sleep & my liver count was lowered. I ran as fast as I could. the rooms are nice cause they are private but that is about the only good thing I can say about the place.
Did i tell you that they also took my blood work every night at 12 am??? OMG!
run, run as fast as you can away from this hell hole of a hospital! LOL
